Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Javier glowered at his trouble-causing son with a scowl. Following behind him closely was his secretary Rory Odon, some bodyguards, and Betty, who put on a sour face.

Betty had initially been reluctant to visit Sophia at the police station. She had not stepped out of Seaview Manor since the horseracing event, where Sophia had brought shame to her.

She refrained from checking social media or watching the TV. When she skimmed through her Twitter feed, she noticed people laughing at Sophia. On top of that, she had muted the group chats with the Solana City socialites, whose members relentlessly laughed at Sophia and herself.

"That has nothing to do with her age! If I were her husband, I would have been so ashamed of her for taking drugs and her bladder control issues. She's a stain on their family name."

"Betty is so pitiful. Look, she's still single. After her mom's scandal and public arrest, I worry that no family would want to propose a marriage. Who'd want to embarrass themselves?"
